And that brought you 1,000 points. Pts. 1,000 For Dutchmen, "you" is simply "..."? ♦ A: e ♦ B: i ♦ C: o ♦ D: u ♦ P t s . 1 , 0 0 0 ♦

Very first run, mrv's Pts. 4,000 question.

Alright, then @heywoodu may help you out here.

I think you can solve this too but if you insist, both can answer even though you really just need one of them.

Like Olympian said, the risk is the possiblity to always crash down to the lower milestone. Some countries like Germany, Austria or Russia have that playstyle. In Germany, a man was recently asked a question for €750,000 (gambler special with more prize money, usually €500,000, 14th question) incorrectly and lost €249,000 of the €250,000 he had at that point.

Couple minutes of break and then maybe we'll have a second contestant for tonight. Some commercials for @heywoodu

No worries, if the list contained Vuka, you would have known.

Yantra is also a religious marking in Indian culture but yeah, nothing to do with Zen. But I would say for your first time, this was quite solid. Thanks for taking some time and play.

This is Timok river. And then there's Yantra river in Bulgaria and Jiu in Romania as well. The Danube stretches that far. I'm afraid D was the wrong answer but you do not lose anything.
